MSlkCri. NadukSri. Do. MSlkSri. Naduk5ri. Nadiikgri. First wifeKilkSri, second wife Melkeri. On the (lay following my arrival at Kotagiri on the eastern extremity of the Xilgiri plateau, a deputation of Kotas from the neighbouring village waited on me, and, having learnt that I was a Government official, consented to allow me to record their measurements only on the dis- tinct understanding that I would not get their land-assess- ment increased — a point on which they were unnecessarily suspici...ous of me. For a few days all went well ; measure- ments were taken, and photographs duly admired. But the Kota. S did not, like the Todas, enter good-humouredly into the spirit of an anthropological inquiry. A sudden strike set in, and an order was circulated among the village community that the measurement of women was not to be continued. The crisis was, however, after much argument and many interviews with leading representatives of the tribe, headed by an overfed monegar (head-man), who re- ceives a small salary from Grovernment to collect rent and make returns of vital statistics, overcome by the interven- tion of the local Tahsildar (revenue officer).
